Detailed Description

The first vintage from new proprietor Catherine Pere Verge, the 2007 La Violette is a 100% Merlot made from yields of 20 hectoliters per hectare. Aromas of violets, blueberries, raspberries, and lavender emerge from this perfumed wine. It is not the biggest Pomerol in 2007 (Clinet and Le Gay qualify for that prize), but it is ethereal in its finesse, purity, intensity, and layered mouthfeel. Luscious and delicate with admirable intensity, this beauty comes from a very special terroir. Sadly, production is so tiny, few consumers will ever get a chance to taste it.

Producer Information

Château La Violette is a highly regarded wine produced from two small vineyard sites in the coveted Pomerol appellation in northeast Bordeaux, on the so-called Right Bank of the Dordogne river, just north of Liborne. The estate makes a limited-production wine entirely from Merlot, although earlier vintages may contain a small portion of Cabernet Franc – long since replanted.La Violette is one of several estates owned by Vignobles Péré-Vergé, a wine portfolio formerly overseen by high-profile Bordeaux doyenne, the late Catherine Péré-Vergé. The Péré-Vergé portfolio includes the other Pomerol sites Château le Gay and Château Montviel. These are now run by Péré-Vergé’s son, Henri ParentChâteau La Violette’s wine is made from two vineyard sites spanning a total of 1.8 hectares (4.4 acres), bought by Péré-Vergé in 2006. The vineyard is further divided into four plots of vines, some planted in the 1950s, and farmed by the same workers as Montviel and Le Gay.
